Summary

Does Penn St need to win it all? How far does Alabama need to go this season in Year 2 post-Saban? FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt considers those questions and more as he defines what a successful season looks like for the most interesting teams in the sport. He discusses what Texas needs to do after two deep Playoff runs and Arch Manning now taking the snaps under center. He considers what Ohio State needs to do off their title-winning season and what Georgia must do to prove they are still one of the elite programs in the sport. Klatt also explains what Michigan’s expectations should be as they continue to build off last year’s strong finish, how far Texas Tech needs to go in the Big 12 to justify their offseason spending spree in the Transfer Portal and more! RSVP for the Live show on Thursday, August 28th at the Browning Amphitheatre in Columbus ahead of the Texas-Ohio State matchup. The event is FREE but make sure to RSVP.
